In a tragic incident, three residents of Assam perished in a Goa nightclub fire, spotlighting the economic challenges forcing them away from home. Their families assert that dire job prospects in Assam pushed them to seek work elsewhere.

The devastating blaze, which has claimed at least 25 lives and injured six, has raised pressing questions about Assam's ability to provide for its youth. The state's Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, expressed deep sorrow and extended condolences to the affected families.

The deceased individuals, part of Assam's tea tribe community, sought livelihoods in Goa due to poor conditions in local tea gardens in Barak Valley. Their plight underscores a broader issue of economic migration prompted by limited local opportunities.
